Today, I am going to look at ways we show up for others.
#1: Just Show Up
Sometimes, depending on the situation, they just need a person there with them, even if they never say anything. Sometimes, it’s just the presence that they need.
#2: Bring them food
There are instances when someone is just trying to survive and can’t even use the energy to get food together. Bringing them food eliminates one thing from their list of things.
#3: Bring them supplies/essentials
This is the same as food. When they are just trying to get through one day at a time, they can’t even think about what they need – paper towels, deodorant, toilet paper, etc.
#4: Be their support
Maybe they need help navigating lawyers, funeral arrangements, those kinds of things…be their support. Maybe you have been through the same thing so you know how to navigate from experience. Being that support relieves some of the stress, even if minutely.
#5: Pray for them!
Even if there’s nothing you know to do for them, or maybe you have other engagements that you just cannot leave, prayer is always easy, but a BIG help! Even when it doesn’t feel like it, God still has it, and prayers ALWAYS help!
Happy Wednesday!
